What makes the abilities great is how they interact with each other in practice. The creative kits support this dynamic cast, and are one of the main reasons for checking out the game. The abilities perfectly match each character, with instances like Doc McCoy being able to eliminate enemies with a syringe and Kate using disguises to move through dangerous areas undetected. But beyond that, you are looking at everything between Hector’s massive bear trap, Bianca, to Isabelle’s voodoo mind control. When starting off with John Cooper, players get access to the standard throwing knife, revolvers, and coins to divert enemy attention. This must be done in a stealthy manner however, and the player achieves this by making use of their diverse abilities. For those new to real-time tactics games, the player controls each of the desperados in a variety of missions to achieve specific objectives. Say hello to my little Gatling gun Character MechanicsĬharacter mechanics are where the game shines, partially because it works in tandem with each hero’s identity. The main story is unlikely to push the buck when it comes to Westerns, but the developed characters make it worth picking up on PC. The dialogue and interactions between the crew have clever moments which keep the playthrough enjoyable. Once players delve into the missions, character individuality really begins to bloom. To be honest, motivations are simplistic when the characters initially join. Each come equipped with defined personalities, great voice acting, and interesting abilities which are explained further in the review.
There are five heroes available: John Cooper, Hector Mendoza, Doc McCoy, Isabelle Moreau, and Kate O’Hara. While the narrative falls short, the characters are well done and one of the better aspects. The best Westerns have recognizable characters, such as the Man with No Name, John Marston from Red Dead Redemption, or even the cast of Fallout: New Vegas. However, if the standard pork and beans fare is what you are after, then this Western RTT has plenty of flavor to enjoy. It focuses on the typical revenge plot between protagonist and antagonist, a characteristic which is a downside for those hungry for originality. Unfortunately, as a major fan and viewer of the genre, I cannot say that the overarching story is particularly innovative. Modern day attempts that do not rely heavily on tropes, such as Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight or Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2, are few and far between. Even nowadays it seems like the genre is typically misunderstood or somewhat antiquated. Nailing a classic Western in story and atmosphere is no small feat. 3) Graphics & Audio – Livin’ High and Wide Story – Ain’t Got No Badges
